How to Make Blueberry Tarts With Meyer Lemon Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make the graham crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of 6 individual tart pans (4-inch diameter).
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Make the Meyer lemon cream: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  7. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together Meyer lemon zest, Meyer lemon juice, and egg yolk.
  8. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking in a few tablespoons of the warm cream mixture.
  9. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
  10. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  11. Strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  12. Assemble the tarts: Once the crusts are completely cool, fill each tart shell with the Meyer lemon cream.
  13. Top with fresh blueberries.
  14. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
